When it comes to Twitter, these two are quick learners

The new presidents at Kent State University and University of Akron already are doing something their predecessors didn’t: maintain active Twitter accounts.

Both Scarborough’s twitter feed (@PresScarborough) included his first “selfie” with students. Warren’s (@PresBWarren) included a picture of herself and Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer at the Spite Institute in Geneva. Scarborough also tweeted a picture of the University of Akron rock climbing wall — the tallest in the state — but said he wasn’t up for a climb that day. “Maybe another time … not on my schedule,” he wrote. Former Kent State president Lester Lefton had a public Twitter account for a short period of time, though he ultimately deleted the account. Former UA president Luis Proenza didn’t tweet (though he did have a bobblehead made in his honor, for what it’s worth). A handful of other Northeast Ohio college presidents also tweet, including Cleveland State’s Ron Berkman (@PresBerkman), Youngstown State’s Jim Tressel (@JimTressel5) and Baldwin Wallace’s Bob Helmer (@BWPres). By a wide margin, Tressel — a former UA vice president and Ohio State football coach — has the most followers with more than 58,800.
